What owners think
How owner sentiment changed over time
ExclusiveBased on when customers actually wrote their reviews - so you can see whether early praise held up.
- Q1 202475/100
Buyers in Q1 2024 praised the card's value, performance, and cooling, but several noted fan noise at default settings, with one reporting DirectX 12 issues.
- Excellent value and performance for 1440p gaming, often maxing out games with headroom.
- Fan noise at default curve, described as jet engine, requiring manual adjustments.
- Runs cool, with one user reporting max 60°C and quiet fans at full power.
- One user experienced DirectX 12 issues, resolved by switching to DX11.
- Q4 202388/100
Buyers upgrading from older GPUs report big performance gains, cooler temps, and good value. Main complaints are loud fans out of the box and a learning curve with AMD's software.
- Performance roughly doubles versus older cards like 2070 SUPER and 5700 XT, with cooler operation.
- Card is loud out of the box, but easily fixed with a fan curve adjustment.
- AMD Adrenalin software has great features but is less intuitive than NVIDIA's overlay.
- Good value with Freesync monitor compatibility and bundled game (Avatar) runs flawlessly.
